Re: R.I.P. Amy Winehouse

Heth, I think we all make judgements in our daily lives.....it is because we are human.

We see someone with a shaved head and think he might be a thug, when in actual fact he is having Chemotherapy for leukaemia.

We see young folks larking about and swearing and think that perhaps all young folk are like this.....when it isn't so.

We can't help it.
I didn't like Amy Winehouse's music, or her reported lifestyle(remember we swallow what the media feeds us).........and I know celebs don't particularly want to be role models for the youngsters growing up, but the fact is, they are, whether they want to be or not.......she was not a good role model.

I am sad for her family. It is they who bear the burden of pain now....and the 'if only's'.........her torment is over, theirs is just beginning.
I wish the media would leave them in peace to do their grieving privately.
